EPJ A Topical Collection „Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics“

The NPA-XI conference will not publish any conference proceedings.

Instead, the European Physical Journal A (EPJA) will publish a Topical Collection „Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics“.

The Topical Collection aims at a comprehensive representation of the scientific topics highly relevant to the field of Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics.

To reach this goal, the Editors of the Topical Collection will invite keynote speakers that have been selected by an international advisory board of the NPA-XI conference to submit manuscripts to the Topical Collection and ensure peer review, in accordance with the standards and editorial procedures of EPJA. The contents of the manuscripts shall be original new results which are not published or under review in other journals.

This Topical Collection is by invitation only.

Deadline for Submission

November 15, 2024

Because of multiple requests we have moved the deadline to December 20, 2024.
But we ask those authors who planned to submit by November 15 to do so anyway.
Each submission will undergo peer review and, once accepted, will be
published as a regular article in EPJA without waiting for the other articles.

Submission Procedure

The authors are invited to submit their paper electronically through the website https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/epja.

Submissions should be clearly identified as intended for the Topical Collection "Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics". Three types of manuscripts are admissible to this Topical Issue: reviews, research articles, and short communications. Papers will be published continuously and will appear (as soon as accepted) on the journal website. The electronic version of the Topical Collection will contain the papers in the order of publication. All submitted papers will be refereed according to the usual high standards of the journal.

Manuscripts should be prepared following the Submission Guidelines.

The LaTeX template can be downloaded here.

General information about the journal can be found on http://epja.epj.org/.
